To dream that you are living on, and looking forward to seeing doomsday, is a warning for you to give substantial and material affairs close attention, or you will find that the artful and scheming friends you are entertaining will have possession of what they desire from you, which is your wealth, and not your sentimentality. To a young woman, this dream encourages her to throw aside the attention of men above her in station and accept the love of an honest and deserving man near her.
